The non-limiting example of embodiment in this context will be described now.In the geographic area such as the sub-district, can there be for example 1000 registered information providing apparatus 110, they all use WCDMA as wireless access technology.Want each hour to report for 400 in them, that is, send information data to subscriber device 140.Can also suppose that this geographic area comprises the WCDMA sub-district, this WCDMA sub-district can allow to be configured to 32 equipment of transmitting packet switched data simultaneously.The human use pattern of example in this sub-district can be put at any given time by human cellular telephone subscribers use 32 resources pact half, promptly 16.Common data transmission period can be 2 seconds.For simply, in this example embodiment, can use identical value to all human users.
On complete hour of the next one, all 400 information providing apparatus 110 can not insert wireless access network simultaneously, because only can there be the user of 32 whiles.And thereby the obstruction ratio will be very high, make human cellular telephone subscribers can not insert wireless access network.Therefore the time scheduling unit that comprises in server 130 or the server 130 can calculate: allow maximum 16 information providing apparatus 110 can insert at this moment, and suppose that 16 users are human cellular telephone subscribers.
Each access can spend and add in 2 seconds and to be used for being connected with wireless access network/core net/communication system 100/time of disconnection.Can suppose and spend 5 seconds altogether.
The time scheduling unit that comprises in server 130 or the server 130 can be divided into 25 groups with 400 information providing apparatus 110, every group of 16 information providing apparatus 110.Can request group 1 on this complete hour, send data; Can ask second group after 5 seconds, to send, and the rest may be inferred.Through doing like this, data collection is dispersed on about 2 minutes, significantly reduced blocking probability.Thereby hope to avoid communication system 100 interior prominent right load spikes, or hope to reduce to a certain degree the risk that suffers this load spike at least.
Can produce and be used for another general non-limiting example of general algorithm that schedule information in time provides the transmission of equipment 110.
Can the number of the information providing apparatus 110 that in specific location area (for example sub-district), will dispatch at required time T be called M.
Thereby the number of the information providing apparatus 110 that will dispatch at required time T can depend on the following: current time T_curr; Maximum number N based on while equipment in each local zone (for example, sub-district) of current system resource constraints; Resource occupation time T _ the resource that estimates; The position m_i of information providing apparatus 110i and information providing apparatus 110; And at required information T_info of time.
Therefore: M=f (T_curr, N, T_resource, i, m_i, T_info)
Can be with can schedule information providing the sum in the moment of equipment 110 to be called J.
Thereby: J=(T_info-T_curr)/(T_resource+T_guard)
T_guard is used for from the transmission of different information providing apparatus 110 protection period separated from one another.
Therefore, on time T _ curr+ (T_resource+T_guard) * j (wherein, j from 0 to J-1), the group of equipment 110 can schedule information be provided.According to some embodiment, the number of every group information providing apparatus 110 can be sum (m_i)/N.
